Altar Of Lightning Blooms

Spent shot of Heaven 

trickles 

like a dying monsoon 

over the cactus skulls- 


supernova of 

a dying gambler 

swallowed whole 

into our exquisite corpse of our 

butter silk moon 


& we watch from our

parked car 

as the comets holler

& wail 

& haul ass 

& leave memories 

on the sides 

of the beds 

of gravel 


your grin 

your hand 

your touch 

your kiss 


bring on the 

blackhole 

to bend me into a 

faint, aching star 

& throw me 

on a deep route 

out into a 

frozen rope of time 


because I'll never be happier than I am right now
